Marijas Street Apartment with Comfort for 5 in Riga Centre

Marijas Street Apartment with Comfort for 5 in Riga Centre Overview

Marijas Street Apartment with Comfort for 5 in Riga Centre sits right on the corner of Marijas iela and Stāvs, a spot that feels like it’s in the middle of everything yet still has its own little hush. If you walk down Marijas iela, you’ll hear the clatter of bicycle wheels, the occasional shout from a street vendor selling fresh rye bread, and the soft rustle of autumn leaves on Stāvs. The building itself is a classic early‑20th‑century brick tower, and the lobby feels like a quiet room in a café—warm lighting, a few potted plants, and a wall of photographs that showcase Riga’s history. I was greeted by a young woman who gave me a quick tour before you even realize you’re checking in; the whole thing took less than ten minutes, and she handed me a keycard with a smile. The front desk staff are friendly, but they also seem genuinely interested in local life—like when they recommended a hidden café on the next block that serves the best Latvian pancakes. You know what? It’s moments like that that make a stay feel personal, not just a transaction.

The apartment itself is roomy, with a living area that opens onto a balcony overlooking the cobblestones of the old town. The décor is a nice mix of modern and traditional: a sleek sofa, a wooden coffee table that looks like it belonged in a Latvian farmhouse, and a small kitchen that’s surprisingly well‑equipped for a small family or group. The Wi‑Fi is fast, and the bathroom feels spa‑like—there’s a deep soaking tub and a rain shower that actually turns the whole room into a small, private steam bath. Honestly, if you’re traveling with friends or a family of five, you’ll appreciate the extra space. The noise level at night is decent; the windows are double‑glazed, so the traffic from the main road doesn’t drown out the lullabies of the city. The only thing that can be a bit noisy is the occasional bar on the ground floor, but that’s usually after midnight, and the apartment is far enough away that you can still get a good night’s sleep.

Parking is a bit of a hassle, but you can manage it if you’re patient. There’s no dedicated parking lot, so you’ll have to rely on street parking. You can find a spot on the street during the weekdays, but you’ll need a permit, and it’s usually a tight squeeze. If you’re staying in the peak season—say, late July or the Christmas markets—there’s a chance you’ll have to park a bit farther away. That said, the walk from the apartment to the Central Market is a pleasant stroll; you’ll pass by the old city hall, a beautiful canal, and a small park where locals practice yoga at dawn. The smell of fresh coffee from a nearby café and the sound of a radio playing traditional Latvian folk tunes makes the morning feel like an invitation to stay longer. I mean, the place practically invites you to stay, doesn’t it? All in all, it’s a solid 4‑star gem that feels like a second home, with just enough local charm to keep the trip memorable.
